This is a discussion on $10 NLHE 6-max: 44 CO call 3x, BB squeeze within the online poker forums, in the Cash Game Hand Analysis section; I wasnt paying attention, and it was "Oh, yea, this guy again" .But generally anyway, do I call and let the squeezer squeeze and repop?

I wasnt paying attention, and it was "Oh, yea, this guy again" .But generally anyway, do I call and let the squeezer squeeze and repop? Just toss the 44 and look for a better spot, raise and get UTG with a 67% F23b to better define his hand?

Think this is a fold close to 100% of the time, you cant really rep much when you flat the re-pop it unless he has a note that you do this with hands like JJ-AA / AK (which i presume you havent) unless you feel you can flat IP and float alot of flops to take it away id suggest folding

I was thinking more along the lines of 4 betting, since he is someone who seems to like to squeeze agro from the blinds. Its just a question of id this line of thinking is good. He seems to like to punish a caller after a raiser, so I would basically be repping the top tier hands, since I normally limp/fold my small and medium PP, and he has forced me to fold IP a few times.

So the question would be if it is profitable vs this particular guy to 4 bet, and if so, do I make it smallish - 2.80ish - to look like i want that call or just utilize my pair with FE and shove.

Question is, is this line of thought ok, since he is so agro squeezer form the blinds.

I would maybe flat exactly the hands you mentioned, cause I do normally 4 bet exactly the range I would be repping.

massive fold, are you considering 4bet calling it off? or 4bet folding? 4bet folding would be real bad and you have better hands to 4bet call it off. You should know this guy is in the blinds and just fold pre though

This is what I didnt see till I was 3 bet.... so that was my first mistake. (And only one, FTR)

I was just wondering about basic play vs a habitual squeezer. I guess just leave the table. Or call an EP raise in this situation with JJ+, AK, and hope he goes for it???

Yeah, you should be calling AK and you can mix it up with some bigger pairs and stuff to definitely, but really you should just stop calling so much and 3bet more yourself to deny him the chance to squeeze

Think folding would be best to start with, might seem nitty, but you have a 17/9 opening UTG, & an active 22% squeezer..

If you was planning on doing anything other than fold which I still don't think is optimal; I think 3betting the UTG raise would be more optimal than flatting & wanting to get stacks in with BB when he 3bet squeezes.

If anyone flats a PFR then 4b's when i squeeze i shove over basically ATC as people do not generally flat the top of their range they 3b with it, so its occasionally hands like 66-TT and like KJ KQs etc so if people squeeze alot think about flatting the top of your range

The question I have on this is the amount to 4 bet. I am guessing we want to leave him with an illusion of FE, or is it better to 4 bet bigger to look weak?
